He said the only injury worry was a medial ligament knee strain to prop Laurie Weeks but doubted the injury was serious.

McKenzie anticipated Wallabies winger Peter Hynes would get his first taste of action in next Friday's trial against the Crusaders in Brisbane when former All Blacks flanker Daniel Braid is also to get a run.

NSW coach Chris Hickey said Queensland were well organised and worked well at the breakdown and described the trial as a high standard game.

"We are not overly concerned about the scoreboard for a first trial," he said.

"But certainly from a coaching point-of-view, it was really worthwhile because it highlights areas that you might of thought were okay, or you haven't spent enough time on."

While the Waratahs spurned some penalty opportunities in their desire to work with the ball, Hickey refused to use that as a reason for the loss.

He was pleased with the performance of acting captain and five-eighth Daniel Halangahu and young winger Alex Rokobaro.

Hickey said he would look to bring back some of his Wallabies for next Saturday's trial against the Fijian Warriors in Orange, with Australian playmaker Berrick Barnes a chance to make his debut after recovering from an ankle injury.

"We just need to keep assessing his injury and see what the medical advice is, I'm sure that he is itching to get out and play and we may be able to use him for a short time in that game," Hickey said.
